Recipe Notes

Pro Tips:

This is a very easy recipe to scale down or up for your needs.

The broccoli needs to be the freshest possible. The older it is, the dryer it will taste.

A medium head of broccoli will yield about 2 cups or a little more broccoli for this recipe. So three medium heads or two large heads will be fine as written.

A half cup of sliced cherry tomatoes, golden raisins, diced carrot, diced celery, or dried cranberries all are good additions.

Nuts will add some nice crunch. So a half cup of toasted sunflower seeds, almonds, or pecans would add a great touch.

This is an excellent recipe to cut down or increase in size. So make it for your family or a crowd.

Good refrigerated for about 3 days.
